Frequently asked questions

What is the elevation of Salt Lake City in feet and metres?

Salt Lake City is at 1,303 m, or 4,274 ft, above sea level, read at a point within 500 m of its centre whose height is the median of the area. Within 5 km of the centre the ground runs from 1,285 m to 1,810 m.

Is Salt Lake City at high altitude?

No. At 1,303 m (4,274 ft), Salt Lake City is below 1,500 m (4,900 ft), where altitude has little effect on most people.

What is the highest point near Salt Lake City?

How is the elevation of Salt Lake City measured?

From the Copernicus DEM, a 30 m elevation model made from satellite radar between 2011 and 2015. It includes roofs and trees, so the figure is read at the point whose height is the median of 121 points within 500 m of the centre, rather than at one point that may fall on a building.
